The important place in the south - Leizhou Sanyuan Tower

This tower was first built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, originally named Qixiu Tower, with 9 external layers and 17 internal layers, nearly 60 meters. Because three snake eggs were dug out from the ground when the foundation was laid, it was named 'Sanyuan Qixiu Tower' with the meaning of 'Sanyuan and the First', which was the tallest building in ancient Leizhou. The tower body has many relief stone carvings, which are the fine works of stone carving in southern Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty. The tower 'stands in the south of Qiong, and the name of the wild goose tower is written in a row', and then it is named 'Yanta' as one of the 'Eight Sceneries of Leiyang'. Inside the park, there is a 'Two Public Temple' to worship the famous officials of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Bin and Chen Changqi. Chen Bin was a scholar in the Kangxi period, who had served as the governor of Hunan, Fujian, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and was known for his integrity; Chen Changqi was a famous epigrapher, linguist, and writer in the Qianjia period, and also a famous scientist at that time, with a wide range of writings, and was a great scholar of the generation. He had served as a compiler of the Hanlin Academy, a censor of Henan Road and Guangxi Road, and was honest and loved the people, and was upright and unflattering.
